AirPods Pro V2, the sequel
published in: Blog // published on: 29.03.2023
Initially launched in 2019, the Airpods Pro V2 finally marks its debut this year. Design-wise, Apple sticks to its winning formula, having the same form factor as the previous version, sadly no new colors were added to the palette scheme. The charging case, however, has a few add-ons, that will come in handy for some users.
First of all, the case has built-in speakers, that will help you find your misplaced AirPods even faster when using Find My by emitting a distinct sound.
On the side of the case, you will find a metal eyelet. By adding a lanyard loop (bought separately) you can attach your favorite True Wireless Earbuds to your backpack. Likewise the AirPods 3, both the charging case and earbuds are now water and dust-resistant, having an IPX4 certification.

A lot of fans were complaining that Apple’s earbuds are not fitting properly, due to different ear circumferences. To solve that problem, Apple introduced a new size for the earbud’s tips, XS (besides the S, M, and L), and an Ear Tip Test app that helps you choose the tips that fit best.
Some users find that Apple’s included tips are not as comfortable as they are advertised. I recommend you check these

On the tech side, things have changed drastically. The H2 chip takes Active Noise Cancelation a step further and provides up to 2X the performance of the AirPods First Generation. I tested personally the ANC, and I can truly say that listening to music in noisy environments is finally a dream come true.
While the white look is appreciated by everyone, the glossy plastic gets scratched quite easily. Having a silicone case like this
ONE will protect your earbuds.
On the first iteration of AirPods Pro you weren't allowed to change the volume just by using the earbuds, you needed to get your iPhone out in order to do that. That is no longer the case. You can adjust the volume by swiping up or down on the stem, which adds more convenience for the user.
Pressing on the stem will allow you to play/pause the music, or answer/end calls.
To switch between the Active Noise Cancelation Mode to Transparency, and vice-versa, you will have to long press the stem.
You can charge your earbuds via the Lightining port, or wireless via a MagSafe charger. The battery life is now better, providing up to 6h listening time on a single charge, and 30h of total listetning time with the case.
The Noise-canceling microphones have improved as well, they do a better job of blocking unwanted noises, and you can count on them for your Zoom meetings. The H2 chip not only provides a better ANC and Transparency experience, but the Spatial Audio is also now more immersive than ever. The U1 chip included in the charging case is in charge of helping you localize your lost AirPods via the Find My app.
Over the First generation of AirPods Pro, the sequel proves to be a worthy upgrade, the difference in sound quality is quite noticeable, and the microphones got the long awaited upgrade.
